EDITORIAL

The age-old problem which has con
stantly pre-empted harmonious relation-
ships between parents and their youngsters
has been unduly overemphasized in today's
society. Everywhere we hear such re-
marks as, "How can I communicate with
my parents?" "Why is it that my parents.
do not understand me?" "Му folks are not
hip. " "I hate my parents" and many many
more. Experts usually blame today's ас-
cellerated way of life, or two many parents
spend too much timeat workor away from
home, or not enough time to spend with
the whole family and do things together.

One of the most beneficial attributes
which any young person can display is to
have complete confidence in his parents
and other members of his family. For
these are the people that willalways be in
his corner in time of need, be he wrong
or right. Talk with your parents. Be
truthful. Parents know alot more than we
give them credit for, and, many are more
hip about our problems than we think.

This is the season when all of us think
about the people that are dearest and
closest to us. Let's not show our concern
with gifts only, let's give due considera-
tion to the things that really make all
happy. If your life at home is happy, your
attitude is а happy one, and this happy
image becomes readily apparent to all.

The staff of Psyche Pscene Magazine
wishes all of its readers and friends a
very Merry Christmas and best wishes
for a prosperous and Happy New Year.

It took America 500 years to create
the Cowsills. Five hundred years of mix-
ing nationalities, races, philosophies,
beliefs and democracy within its! borders
Five hundred years of making families
from allthe people of all the countries of
the world. The Cowsills happened. They
are an entirely new dimension in enter-
tainment today.

The Cowsill corporation reads as fol-
lows: A Bill, Bob, Barry and John Cow-
sill- comprising the nucleus of the group.
Their mini-mommy, Barbara Cowsill,
who lends her sweet, clear voice to the
boys! harmony whenever it is needed and
wherever they might go. The road man-
agers, Dick and Paul Cowsill, who chose
not to enter the performing end of the
complex, keep equipment straight and in
order throughout their journeys. There
is also a Cowsill baby, sweet and cute as
can be - Susan Cowsill (who is constantly
teased by her ALL BROTHER family,
who, although they'll never admit it
publicly, adore her) and Mr. Cowsill, who,
like any father would be, is stuck with the
job of coordinating the conglomeration.

У.

THE СОЗ, 5 11 1,5

Bud Cowsill believes that love is а key
word in raising a family, especially his.
"When the kids do the right thing, they
know it. And when they do the wrong
things, they know it." However, it is
difficult for any father to actually define
right and wrong. The only constant is
love. "If I slip in some area, love will
cover it. It's crazy, but I think you read
Ine.

Luck, or maybe fate, introduced them
to Artie Kornfeld. Artie is а producer
and writer. He is one of the necessary
elements of the chemical reaction spoken
about earlier. Artie immediately sized
up the situation. He knew what to do with
the Cowsills - introduce them to Lenny
Stogel, probably the only talent manager
in America who was ready for them.
Lenny Stogel, another creation of America,
understood what had to be done and knew
just how to do it. The rapport between
Leonard Stogel Associates and the Cow-
sills led to MGM Records, and fromthere,
in the space of just a few weeks, the
Cowsills have come to be considered one
of the hottest properties in the entire in-
dusty.

Vanilla Fudge visits WCFL's
Jim Stagg

Vanilla Fudge, hailing from New Jersey
and Brooklyn recently appeared at The
Cheetah. While in Chicago they visited
with Jim Stagg at WCFL and were pre-
sented on his Hot Line. They informed
us that they will beappearing at the Holly-
wood Bowl, Cow Palace and on The
Smothers Brothers show in November and
that on their new album, The Vanilla
Fudge, all the boys take a turn in singing.

The group consists of four people, Vini
Martel, lead guitarist, Mark Stein, lead
singer and organist, Carmine Appice, on
drums, and Tim Bogert, bass. They
range between twenty and twenty-three
years of age and have been together for
about eleven months.

To many, they could be considered a
Rhythm and Blues group with Folk-Rock
mixed in. They are seeking a new sound
and by them doing all their own arranging
they may encounter what they're going
after. This group that records for Atco
Records is a new one and with the aid of
their Road Manager, Jim Demarco, will
really go places.

The corner crowd

Tony Bennett in conjunction with WLS gave
a successful performance to a packed house
for the young people. The reception from the
crowd was so heart warming that Tony sang
half hour more. On hand from WLS were:
Gene Taylor, Clark Weber, Ron Riley and
some personel from WLS. The show was held
on a Saturday at 2:00 P. M. Allthe girls and
boys who attended the show were picked by
letters sent to WLS on a promotion sponsored
by them.

We're sure from all the kids who attended,
THANK YOU WLS:

THE TROLLS

These are the Trolls. Four extremely talented young
musicians who have a quality lacking in most rock
groups today — stage presence. It means the ability to
have an audience not only listening, but also watching
and grooving with them. A better word may be elec-
tricity, throwing out their signal to be picked up by
every member of the audience; thereby generating an
excitement throughout the entire hall when the Trolls
are on. They're a tight, solid group without internal
problems. This can be backed up by the fact that the
four members comprising the Trolls have remained
unchanged for the past 5 years.

Individually they are; quiet, shy Max on bass; the
excitable, restless drummer Ken; a soul-hitting vibrant
Gallahad on lead guitar; and artistic — plus Clark on
rhythm guitar and organ.

Millions know them for their first national hit,
"Every Day and Every Night," and their fan club
membership is already in the thousands. But the Trolls
have yet to start leaving their mark on the country.
Their songbook consists of over 120 original, un-
published songs written by the four of them over the
past few years. All are scheduled to be recorded by
the same four in the next few years. The first of
these made the big national pscene. Listen and be
prepared!

Jim Stagg congratulates new
winner

THE IDES OF MARCH

The Ides of Marchcombine their show-
manship and talent to easily make all for-
get their troubles and join in on the fun.
This groovy group is gifted with solid
harmonious talent and have a lot of poten-
tial. This diversified group consists of
Bob "Floyd" Bergland, Steve "Elmer"
Daniels, Larry Millas, Mike Borch, and
Jim Peterik.

BOX TOPS

"When we first recorded 'The Letter!
last March we were really scared. The
original track (without the strings or the
jet at the end) sounded terrible, and we
didn't want them to release it. But they
did and it just sort of took off. "

The voice was that of Danny Smythe,
19 yr. old drummer for The Boxtops, a
talented group of Memphis boys whose
first single "The Letter' streaked to the
top of the charts and stayed there for four
consecutive weeks.

Danny, along with bassist John Evans
(19) and lead vocalist Alex Chilten (17),
originally played with a group called the
DeVilles. The group launched 3 unsuc-
cessfulassaults on the record market and
then split. But Alex, John, and Danny
stuck together апа ''drafting'' organist
Bill Cunningham (18) and lead guitarist
Gary Talley (19) formed a new group, with
their manager, Memphis d.j. Roy Mack,
coming up with the new name.

Rightnow The Boxtops are ona nation-
wide tour. They've just completed an Lp
and their new single, "Neon Rainbow,"
should be out shortly. Drummer Danny is
understandably worried about the groups'
second disc. ''The first big hit is hard to
get, but anyone in the record industry will
tell you that if no. 2 flops you're in bad
trouble. The second record's got to be а
bit of a copy in that you want to stick to a
sound - but if it's too muchthe same you're
dead. ''

The Boxtops are five very nice young
men - delighted and very surprised by
their success. As Danny says, "We've
been very, very lucky. After all, we
came out of nowhere and now we've sold
as many records as "Ode to Billy Joe."

I tend to give talent a bit of the credit,
but here's hoping luck sticks with The
Boxtops for a long time to come.

5TH DIMENSION

BY JANICE LITVAC

Up, up and away did Gordon Tech ever
fly! That night the 5th Dimension took
everyone in that beautiful balloon. This
is one group that appeals to all ages,
shapes and sizes! Besides their hits, the
group sang agreat rendition of "Going Out
Of My Head" and an outstanding "Оп
Broadway." Their singing ability as solos
and togethercertainly need no echo cham-
bers, special effects, or the tricks of the
recording engineer to put across their
fantastic sound.

At the time, they were on tour, but
returned to Los Angeles to work on a new
L.P. By the way, "Paper Cup" is their
latest contribution to the world of record-
ings, so keep an eye out for it.

Recently, they performed at a show
which Vice-President Hubert Humphrey
attended. Other names included Frank
Sinatra, his daughter Nancy, Milton Berle
and Trini Lopez. "That show was our
biggest thrill," lovely Florence stated.
They possibly will go to Viet Nam soon,
with Martha Raye, who invited them to go
along on her next trip there. So far there
are no definite plans to tour Europe but
Ron said they hope to go sometime next
year.

The show they put on was terrific and
we certainly hope when they're coming
our way again, Gordon will be one of the
5th Dimension's stops.

Merry Crimble and Haddy Grimble to
ye all -- I have once again returned from
the wilds of Never-Never Land to drivvle
onward (this month I'm wearing my snow
shoes!).... Producer ED PAZDUR has
left the city. Rumor has it that he!ll now

be booking road tours for MAJLIBU-U....

MIKE DEGAETANO has now signed the
ROOKS and the SONS OF ADAM to his
Intermedia Corp. (his first clients were
the FADED BLUES). DA is always
looking fornewtalent. If you're interested
itioning for him call 761-1925....
The FADED › by the way, got a big
kick out of performing for sailors at the
Chicago U.S.O. Center recently. The
show, m.c.'d by WGN's SIG SAKOWICZ
was the Blues first such appearance, but
they enjoyed it so much that it certainly
won't be their last....Did any of you hear
WFMT's tribute to WOODY GUTHRIE?
"Bound For Glory" (taken from the title
of Guthrie's 1943 autobiography), written,
produced and narrated by Chicago's own
STUDS TERKEL, was broadcast Oct. 5 in
memory of the Dust Bowl Prophet who
died of Huntington's chorea (a nervous
disorder) Oct. 3. Guthrie, who gave us
such songs as "Deportee" and "This Land
is Your Land'' was one of the major in-
fluences on young BOB DYLAN during his
early Greenwich Village days.... NEW
TRIER EAST's literary magazine INK-
LINGS 15 presenting the BEATLES!
"HELP!!!" as part of their 67-68 film
series... JAMES WILLIAM GUERCIO and
his BUCKINGHAMS have done it again --
blasted the charts that is, with their "HEY
BABY THEY'RE PLAYIN! OUR SONG",
arranged, conducted and produced by
manager Jim. In addition to his duties
for the Buckinghams, Chicagoan Guercio
also manages CHAD AND JEREMY and
often backs the duo up on bass.... Newest
REVELLE is 20 yr. old CHUCK JONES
formerly of the WHAT FOUR, now doing
the honors on organ for my favorite five-
some. Seeing the Revelles by the way has
become a real experience. You have to
be willing to spend the evening chasing
stray cats, accepting photography instruc-
tion from BRUCE GORDON and acting as
temporary security guard (as inout! out!).
(Note: did you know that MARTY PICHIN-
SEN calls suckers "lollipops" and spend
his spare time decorating cakes?) (don't
worry Marty, that's what I used to call

them back in New Yawk too) (the preceding
lines were what is known in the biz asa
Scoop -- aren't you glad I reminded you?)
.... BIONDI '68 is exploding along with
the fun 12-5 A. M. on WCFL. If there's
anything you'd like to hear on his show or
if you'd just like to say hi! -- do give him
a call at 222-1650. He'll really be de-
lighted to hear from you!....WLS, too,
has a new face (voice?) behind the mike.
JERRY KAY, just in from KJR, Spokane,
has taken over the all-nite spot. Jerry is
originally from Yakima, Wash. where he
got his start in radio. He attended Wash.
State University at Pullman and received
his first class license from Radio Opera-
tions Engineering School in Burbank,
Calif. Jerry has held jobs in Yakima,
Seattle and. Spokane....Chicago has seen
the light! CHEETAH now has by far the
most professional light show in the Mid-
west, not to mention a really hip crowd.
I stopped by to see the fantastic PAUL
BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND and was
really amazed. It's about time someone
brought in top name groups to perform in
something a bit more personal than a con-
cert situation .... Why aren't Chicago
stations playing the BUFFALO'S "ROCK
N' ROLL WOMAN?"....

24 hours a day!

Sitting back stage at а concert is an
experience entirely different than ођ-
serving from the audience; not only are
you isolated from the mood and response
of the mass, but you have a great oppor-
tunity to observeall the behind-the-scenes
preparations and (best of all) to talk in-
formally with the various pop people wan-
dering about the wings.

Recently I took advantage of that op-
portunity to chat briefly with Beach Boy
Bruce Johnston. Bruce is kindand smiley
and good looking with red brown hair and
moustache - a fairly new addition to his
physical personality. Bruce, who has
been with the groups for two and a half
years actually became a Beach Boy by ac-
cident. ''The boys phoned me looking for
someone to fill in for Brian. At the timel
was working as an A&R man (record pro-
ducer) for Columbia Records. I couldn't
find anyone at the time: I didn't play bass
than - I played electric piano once in a
while on some of my sessions 501 went in
Brian's place. It was just going to be a
temporary thing and it wound up lasting
two and a half years so far."

Though Bruce has been recording with
the group since he joined them, he's had

13

By unb.» ib а MV

an opportunity to do many other things
since he's not bound to Capitol Records
like the other boys. Now the group has
convinced him to release a single on his
own. As far as the style goes, Bruce
says, "There's no reason why when any
of the Beach Boys make an individual
single we should compete with the Beach
Boys, so I'm just gonna try and make
something groovy you can dance to, and
not try to be super-arty. I've already
made the track for it - it's called '"Blue-
birds Over the Mountain" - it's really
good so far. I haven't sung it yet and that
might make it bad, but the track's pretty
good. "

Over the past year the Beach Boys
(along with many other pop groups) have
added a new dimension of sophistication
to their music. Bruce explains, "Ме! уе
just been progressing w:th everyone else,
because everycne stayed aware and just
moved on with the times. I guess I'm the
only one who still surfs, and there!s no
more surfing music at all, but ya gotta
keep going."

The Beach Boys have indeed kept going,
and from the sounds of things now, it's
doubtful that they're about to come to a
standstill.

GUEST COLUMNS

by Bob Garmisa

I had the opportunity to be with two
fine groups: The Candymen (ABC Records)
who were in town appearing with WCFL
and WLS deejays, promoting their just
recorded "Georgia Pines." The boys used
to back up Roy Orbison on Monument
Records.

The Grassroots (Dunhill Records) were
alsoin town. Wehad the pleasure of work-
ing with them for one solid week while
they made appearances at the Cheetah and
the University of Illinois (Circle Campus)
and also taking them around to the radio
stations and WCIU-TV promoting their
record "Wake up, Wake up." Both groups
really put on fab shows.

Ray Charles (ABC Records)could come
close to equaling his success of "I Can't
Stop Loving You" with a Lennon and
McCartney tune ''Yesterday.'' New sound
track "Live for Life" (United Artists)
should be great follow-up to "А Man and
A Woman" (UA) in sales. A new group,
the Hassels (UA) do а great version of
"You've Got Me Humming" done originally
by Sam and Dave. The Mamas and Papas

Well! Chicago is finally getting the
Паок it deserves in ће. record
world. The local boys are making good.
But wait! Another group is moving upthe
ladder of success and should really make
a dent in the record industry, namely the
Rush Hour. The boys (6 of them) who
practice during the week and play on week-
ends are still in school because they feel
education is very important, thus not let-
ting success go to their heads. They
have already appeared with such groups
as Paul Revere and The Raiders, The
Associations, and The Seeds.

IS SOUL НЕКЕ TO STAY?
by Tony Rugero

This year will be a significant one
for the type of music popularly labeled
"Soul", The psychedelic sounds of 1966
and early 1967 have become secondary to
the reigning sounds of soul. Such names
as Gaye & Terrell, Sam & Dave, and
King Curtis, who were given only R & B
exposure previously, are now appearing
on pop as well as R & B surveys. In
checking the pop charts across the coun-
try, I find that roughly 40% of the top
tunes are soul oriented. Aretha Franklin,
Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, and
others who were early exponents of the
pop "soul"- sound should be commended
for unveiling the expressive sounds we
have today. Others have joined the band-
wagon. Nationally we have the Young
Rascals, the Bee Gees, the Righteous
Bros., and believe it ornot, FrankSinatra
and Tony Bennett. Locally the Mauds and
the Flock have been met with enthusiasm
throughout the Midwest by communicating
"soul" to their audiences. Thus, soul
music is no longer confined to the music
makers of one ethnic group but is wide-
Spread. What do you think of the soul
sound? Judging from those I interview at
numerous record hops the response is
tremendous. If you disagree ----- check
the popularity of the boogaloo!!! Is soul
music here to stay? Only you can answer
that, but for the present I see no drastic
changes.

GUEST COLUMNS

By Barney Pip

"I wish we could keepthe spirit of Christmas
all year long. "

Does that mean we need the tinsel and the
pretty packages to remind usthat loving man-
kind probably is the greatest one single thing
we can do? The anticipation of Santa Claus in
a child's heart and the glow of the tree's
lights should shine across the house each day
of the year. (But they don't. )

Take for instance, the man who says that
all men are blackheart, that they only occa-
sionally rise above the primeval oogoe, then
cited case after case of the rottenness of
man's soul. What defense do we have when he
points out the lies and cheating, the harsh-
ness, the plain insanity to fellow-man? The
truth is that we are hard pressed for good
deeds, for moments, even that might show
that man still cares.

"What about Christmas? "

"It's а fluke, baby---people still die of
starvation and loneliness at the same rate,
year round. "

"Yes--but throughout history, truces and
cease-fires have occurred during Christmas."

"Merely a matter of convenience, a good
time to clear the battlefield of torn flesh."
"But the carnage does stop" "Why did it
start? '' It seems almost hopeless. Perhaps if
we reversed the situation we could dispel the
cynics and show the thoughtless who prompt
criticism.

What if between Thanksgiving and New
Year's--say for a period of six weeks each
year the world went mad. Riding down State
street waving to the TV cameras and children
lining the street was, instead of Santa Claus,-
Adolf Hitler, his vehicle--a panzer tank.

The latest in-outdoor holiday decorations
stood in Congress circle, a first incidentally
for any city in the United States. An entire
Austrian regiment from the first world war
newly dug up from their unknown graves now
laid corpse upon corpse, towering some 120
feet in a loosely constructed triangle. At dusk
tonight, the traditional lighting ceremony
would take place. The "oh's" and "ah's" of
the assembled would echo throughout the city
as Napalm flashed off decaying flesh and pro-
vided the incense of the season.

Need I go on with the horror. Need the
world go on with it? Keep the Christmas
spirit, Pip People, before there is no spirit
left.

NEW GROUPS

THE BEGINNING

Frank Cannatello Manager.

"Bouncy and groovy" is an accurate
description of THE BEGINNING. Although
they have been together just à short time,
they are constantly climbing up the ladder
of success. THE BEGINNING has ap-
peared at numerous college dances and
several local lounges.

Their sound is new - but their per-
formances are great and match those of
seasoned entertainers. Their exciting
beat generates such explosive waves of
magnetism that all are affected all the
way down to the real nitty-gritty; and,
each body moves inunison with their beat.

Hailing from Chicago's great Southwest
Side, they are truly representative of our
local young set. The boys that produce
this fantastic sound are Rich Wagner,
Bass Guitar; Ron Granato, Drums; Rich
Sansone, Rhythm; Mike Grilla, Organist;
and John Juraska, Lead Guitar.

Dennis Capora Trumpet

THE MOTOWNS

The Motown Sound has been working
together for the last six months. In this
short time they have appeared at Weber,
Notre Dame, University of Wisconsin, the
Mezzanine Club, and others.

The Motown Sound consists of Lester
Stolarczyk, lead guitarist (De Vry Tech);
Pat Accardi, organ (St. Mels); John Cam-
marata, bass guitar (Wright Jr.); Frankie
Lombardo, vocal and sax (Gordon Tech);
and John Psolka, drums (Holy Trinity).

SOMETHING ELSE

Charles "Butch" Stanley is lead singer
for the group.

Jim, alias Firebug, McMananom is
the drummer for the group.

Tim Veach is responsible for many ot
the psychedelic effects of the group which
he achieves through reverberation and
feedback with his rhythm guitar.

Kevin Hill is the "alien" in the group,
having arrived on the scene three years
ago from Liverpool, England.

Bruce Caul known as the group's cut-
up, plays bass guitar.

George McCaslin and Butch started the
original group, The Illusions. He plays
lead guitar for the group and also writes
all of the group's original material.

THE TIKI'S

Last year, The Tiki's were Chicago-
land's first group to explore and use
. Psychedelic Lights.— ^Although the lights—
J have now been adopted by many, The
Tiki's still have one of the best lighting
routines in the area. Since the start of
last year, they have changed somewhat by
growing their hair longer, invested in
custom made equipment, and tightened up
their sound.

Allof The Tiki's agree that they have a
pessimistic outlook on life, and their
songs try to reflect a happy sound. This
is the main reason that The Tiki's have
developed the one and only "SUNNY DAY
SOUND." They sincerely believe that
people listen to groups to be entertained -
they don't want to listen to the troubles
which plague other people.

Allmembers of the group combine their
talents and resources to produce an ac-
ceptable sound which pleases any audience.
This fact can be ascertained by listening
to some of their originals, such as "Let
Me у "Giri You Know," "Just You,
"Baby, "алпа others.

This very versatile group consists of
Ron Knapik, leader and -lead guitar; Ken
Kosek, vocal; Bill Koch, bass guitar; Pat
LaCerra, organ and guitar; and Henry
Peter Rush III, percussion.

BUNNY'S FUNNIES

BABY HUEY saw a book he wanted in the
library but he couldn't get it. It was on the
bottom shelf.

SVETLANA STALIN absolutely refuses to
see the movie, "Oh Dad, Poor Dad, They've
Hung Him in the Closet. "'

I don't have to do this for a living; I sell
blankets to CLINT EASTWOOD.

Know what I got TWIGGY for her birthday?
A parcel post scale so she can weigh herself.

Know how they plan to speed up the Indian-
apolis Speedway next year? The guy that
finishes last has to kiss PHYLISS DILLER.

EDDIE FISHER hadanightmare; he dreamed
that CONNIE STEVENS made a movie with
RICHARD BURTON.

TWIGGY is so skinny she can stand on a
bag of potato chips without crunching any.

I'm not surprised that RED CHINA came
out with the H- Bomb. After all, they invented
firecrackers.

Little Known Fact: That's not an eye patch
MOSHE DAYAN wears. It is really a sling-
shot.

The Royal Wax Museum was going to have
a statue of DEAN MARTIN, but they couldn't
get it to stand up.

MRS. MILLER went to Viet Nam to sing for
the troops. Wonder which ones, ours or the
enemies?

I've just invented MARSHMALLOW COLA.
It's REALLY a soft drink!

Bought a PORCUPINE and the Pet Shop re-
fuses to exchange it. Looks like I'm stuck
with it.

If you think we have a water pollution prob-
lem now, what would happen ifall the HIPPIES
suddenly decided to take baths.

My UNCLE SAM says that anybody who
burns a draft card should be beaten until they
are red, white and blue:

I enjoyed the movie "BAREFOOT IN THE
PARK' so much that I left my shoes in the
theatre.

Happiness is having ANN LANDERS agree
with your problem.

Happiness is when the telephone rings
AFTER you take your bath.

Happiness is when your 6 year old brother
breaks his drum.

Happiness is finding ELVIS PRESLEY'S
wallet.

Happiness is FIDEL CASTRO smoking a
loaded cigar.

BABBLING
BABS

Dear Babs,

l've been going steady for about six months. At
first everything was fine, but gradually he started up a
list of rules for me to follow. | didn't mind it in the
beginning because when you're going with a boy and
there are no rules, you know he doesn't really care or
something's wrong. But little by little, they've gotten
worse.
Please help me. I'm afraid to tell him because |
might lose him, and | like him a lot.
УК.

Dear J.K.,

You are wrong in thinking there have to be rules in
order to know he cares and everything is all right. If
he does care he will trust you, and if he doesn't trust
you, you are only hurting yourself by hanging on.
Don't waste the best years of your life waiting for him
to call. There are plenty of wonderful people in this
world, and you know what they say — "'It's a small

world.”
Babs

Dear Baby Babbler:

My boyfriend has long hair and my father will not
permit me to date him. He sings in a rock and roll
group and is always a gentleman. He is a good stu-
dent and participates in student government. My
father says boys with long hair are bums and should
be thrown in jail. | like this boy very much and want
our relationship to continue. What can | do to change
my parents mind?

C.K. (Disallusioned)

Dear Disallusioned:

Explain to daddy that the long hair is necessary for
the success of the group, which is a good and decent
way to earn some money. Arrange a meeting between
he and your father, away from your house. Your
father may get to know and like him. But if your
father doesn’t - don’t pressure him, most fathers are
very interested in meeting their daughter's dates.

JAZZ

In reply to the sweet old lady's question,
"What is jazz, Mr. Waller?' the late and great
Fats is supposed to have sighed, "Madam, if
you don't know by now, DON'T MESS WITH
ІТ!" Fats Waller had a point there. Whether
you hear it in New Orleans, Chicago or
Bombay — they play something like it there
too — jazz is a lot easier to recognize than to
describe. Suppose we define it temporarily
as the result of a 300-year old blending in the
United States of two great musical traditions,
the European and the West African. It follows
that, in a musical culture predominantly
European,the qualities that make jazz a little
different and immediately recognizable prob-
ably have something to do with West Africa.
What is the connection between jazz and West
African music? Perhaps the most obvious
similarity is the rhythm.

Theorists tell us there is no limit to the
complexities that can be superimposed upon
march rhythm and that is what jazz is doing.
The basis of jazz is à march rhythm but the
jazzman puts more complicated rhythms on
top of it. He blows a variety of accents be-
tween and around, above and below,the march
beat. It is a much more complicated process
than syncopation, which is usually defined as
stressing the normally weak beat, for synco-
pation sounds unutterably old-fashion to a
jazzman. A regular six-piece band playing in
the New Orleans style can create rhythmic
complexities which no machine yet invented
can fully diagram.

Erroll Garner is justly famous for what
jazzmen call "Fooling around with the beat,"
because he doesn't seem to let his left-hand
know what his right-hand is doing. In general,
his left-hand plays a steady 4/4 march
rhythm, quite opposite to the modern trend,
but his right-hand is playing the melody in a
variety of changing tempos: first he drags
behind and then he more than catches up in
constantly varying fractions of the beat. The
effect is schizophrenic, like rubbing your
stomach in one direction and the top of your
head in another. A good example of this is at
the beginning of the second chorus of "What is
this Thing Called Love?" by Garner.

Here is a quality that gives jazz some of its
appeal. Psychologically, Garner's steady
left-hand creates and fulfills the expectancy
of continuous rhythm. His lag-along right-

28

by ARTHUR J. MANSAVAGE

hand, however, sets up a contrasting tension
which is released when, by means of more
unexpected accents, he catches up. It's like
a sprinter who saves himself from falling on
his face by an extra burst of speed. It's also
a kind of rhythmic game. The effect on the
listener varies; he may want to sing, dance,
shout, or even hit somebody. Somehow, he
wants to express himself. Isn't that the pur-
pose of music? To create the expression
outlet for the listener?

Understanding and enjoying this kind of
rhythmic complexity is entirely a matter of
training. Contrary to the popular notion,
nobody is born with a fine sense of rhythm-
people simply learn it, sometimes quite
unconsciously.

We asked in our last column if you had any
questions or would like to see your favorite
recording star highlighted in "A little bit of
the 'jazz story'"' to let us know by writing a
letter to Arthur J., in-care-of PSYCHE
PSCENE. We are also seeking members for
a jazz group we would like to form, so all of
those who live it, love it, or make a living
from it, please let us know. Until the next
time, this is Arthur J. reminding you of one
very important thing. "Remember, it takes
less muscle to smile than to frown, so be lazy
and live a little!" That's -30- from a little bit
of the jazz story.

SMALL КА у * Ue а v

Spent some time with L.C. Carr of the
FENDERS recently during one of their
frequent appearances at the Cheetah.
About the only way to describe L.C. is to
say the cat's out о! sight. L.C. told me
the Fenders are still looking for that big
break that will skyrocket them on the way
to fame and fortune. They sound a lot like
Syl Johnson's band and coordinate very
well on stage. The average age of the
groups six members is twenty-six. Their
repertoire is endless and they don't stay
Strictly with the soul and motown sound.
The boys also play à certain amount of
rock songs which broadens their market a
great deal. Around the Windy City they've
played the Rivoli, Casanovas, Sits Mark
and also numerous parties and colleges
including Northwestern. The Fenders are
very closely knit and list their favorite
groups as the fabulous Miracles and
Chicago's own The Flock. The Fenders
should be at the Cheetah very soon don't
miss them, they're tremendous.

' Speaking of the Cheetah, Wilson Pickett
should be at the Lawrence Avenue dance
hallin the very near future. Our thanks
go out to Mr. Fox, the manager, for the
fine hospitality he's given us. Also Johnny
Moore and Posey at the Club. Johnny
handles the bookings for the Club and
Posey while working at the Club doubles
as Rodney Jones' assistant. They've all
been great.

Caught Wayne Cochrane after a recent
appearanceat RushStreet's Happy Medium
recently. Wayne is properly known as the
King of pop soul. He's probably the most
dynamic performer in rhythm and blues.
One thing for certain the twenty-eight
year-old cat is the hardest working, he's
done 6,000 shows in the last five years.
Wayne is originally from Macon, Georgia
where he was a boyhood chum of James
Brown. Wayne now bases himself out of
Miami Beach. His hair is even wilder
than Little Richards and his stage dress
is not what you would call conservative.
Wayne is a great guy and is very easy to
talk to. His eleven piece back up is known
as the C. C. Riders and they're the best
this reporter has ever seen. Its obvious
they're well trained in both sound and
choreography and Mr. Cochrane does the
training. Wayne is in the process of
building а legend and will be making tele-
vision appearances very frequently. He's

2s. ws

Chet Coppock

scheduled to appear on the Batman series
with his group as the villainous Snow Top
and his band the 11 Flakes. Also in the
works is a television series with King
Cochrane in the feature roll with a music
format. Other performers on the way up
should take a lesson from Wayne, he's a
performer who works at his job and always
gives the public his best, as he did for us
at the Happy Medium. The Medium is the
.finest spot we've seen entertainment in a
long time, there's no such thing as a bad
seat and the prices are right. The at-
mosphere is gorgeous and whether its for
"soul time" or not, stop down you'll love
the place.

Saw Jimmy and Fuzzy of the Mauds at
one of Wayne's shows. The Mauds are
truly blue-eyed soul on the move. They
now have Curtis Mayfieldand Jerry Butler
writing for them and their album "Hold
On" is turning into a smash.

Hats off to WGRT for their recent
motor town weekend - an excellent idea
that I hope proved successful for them.
Great Radio has had more than their
share of growing pains.

Recent ratings show WVON to be the
third in the Windy City in terms of listen-
ers, ahead of such stations as WLS and
WCFL.

Otis Clay, who has had great success
in Chicago is now handled by Phil Waldron
out of Atlanta, Georgia. Phil handles
among others Sam and Dave, Arthur
Conley and Otis Redding. I ratehis record
"That's How It Is" as one of the top R and
B records of the year.

The Club at 55 and State Streets has
gone back to teen-age dance. On Friday
its the teens, and Saturday's live enter-
tainment with some of the biggest names
in the business,

Pop-soul recording star Dionne War-
wick will begin a two week stay at Mr.
Kellys on Rush Street November 27.
Dionne is tremendous on stage andhas
another big one with "I Say a Little
Prayer."

In conclusion, as everyone knows
Wilson Pickett had a fabulous hit with
Funky Broadway. However, the Wicked
one wasn't the first to wax Funky Broad-
way. Dyke and the Blazers version, the
original, scored well in many parts of the
country. So in a sense, the Blazers hada
double smash with Funky Broadway.

BIONDI '68!!!. Тапуа

I first made Dick Biondi's acquaintance
via air mail to Los Angeles, California.
Dick had become interested in a braille
quarterly I work for, so every three
months we exchanged greetings. I was
always impressed by the promptness with
which he answered my notes because --
well -- a popular d.j. may receive over a
hundred pieces of mailin aday, and frankly
he doesn't have time to keep track of any
one individual correspondent. But Dick
did.

I often thought during those months,
what a groove it would be to have Biondi
back -- home in Chicago -- where he
belonged.

Dick Biondi was born and raised in

Endicott, New York, a small Up-State
town. When he was in 8th grade he got
his first radio job at Endicott's local
station -- buying coffee, sweeping the

floor and "making a general pest of him-
self." After graduation, Dick spent some
time at Harper College, and then took a
job at a station in Corning (of glassware
fame). From there he traveled to Loui-
siana, then on to Youngstown, Ohio and
Buffalo, New York, finally making his way
to WLS, Chicago in 1960. Midwest teens
fell in love with Dick Biondi, and the feel-
ing was mutual.

After leaving WLS, Dick traveled back
East to New York where he had a Mutual
Network show syndicated nationally over
110 stations (it was aired once a week in
Chicago over WCFL). Then in late 1964
the Friendly Italian went to KRLA, Los
Angeles. "In L.A. the format is very
tight, and the d.j. can't say much except
time and temperature. Life is slower,
but the kids seem to grow up faster, while
life is more relaxed. Yet kids want some

authority -- someone to give them a
direction, and there doesn't seem to be
anyone, ''

What about Chicago? "Of the three
major cities, Chicago is the greatest.
It's a good radio town, and the kids are
loyal and honest, very honest. From the
moment I left Chicago I started wantingto
come back."

It's a groove to have Biondi back --
home in Chicago -- where he belongs.
Midnite to five on WCFL, Radio 10.

ZAL YALNOVSKY

Zal

six months
Yalnovsky resigned from another group.

Approximately ago
I say another, because in the past he's
been known to depart from such unknowns
as the Big Three, The Mugwumps and the
Halifax Three. But this time there was
a slight difference -- because the group
was the Lovin! Spoonful who were and
still are not exactly unknown.

But Zally was getting restless. Не
was ready for new and different things,
(i.e. bigger and better) and besides he
was just plain tired of working in a group.
So off went Zalmon "То Make It On His
Own, " and on his recent visit to Chicago
he tried to explain just how he is going to
make it.

First, and most important, there is
Zal's rollicking single (on Buddah Rec-
ords)"As Long As You're Неге" for which
he has written and co-directed a fabulous
promotional film (which just may make the
telly box sometime this century). The
film (in color) was shot in Greenwich
Village and parts unknown and is five min-
utes of blissful hilarity. The future holds
heaven knows what -- more films, singles,
an album, a musical revue, writing, pro-
ducing, arranging....all sorts of things.

"I'll do anything." says Zally, "any-
thing that comes up," which just might
make him а brick layer in another six
months. Somehow I doubt it!

GIRL OF THE MONTH

Joyce Moy, a beautiful 18-year old
girl, was chosen Chicagoland's "Flower
Power Princess" by a panel of distin-
guished judges in Cheetah's recent Annual
Flower Power Princess contest. Living
on the South Side of Chicago, the pretty
young "Princess" is a June, 1967 graduate
of Mercy High School.

The tiny 5 ft. 2", 100 pound winner,
ended Cheetah's serach for a young girl
who would symbolize peace, love and
purity. Holding bouquets of red roses,
the excited young winner commented on
her Flower Power Princess philosophy:
"The kids today are called hippies - but
we are really just individuals. The trend
today is not wild, as the older people
believe. Actually, we believe in peace,
and some day will be old enough to do
something about the terrible wars and all
the hatred in the world. Ihopelcan bea
real symbol of peace - especially to my
relatives who fled from Communist China
and are now living in Hong Kong. "

A talented young designer, Joyce will
enter Chicago's Ray Vogue School this
fall to study fashion design.

Atypicalteen, her favorite entertainers
are The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds,
Paul Newman and Vanessa Redgrave.

Looking forward to her prize-winning
trip to San Francisco, Joyce admits she
and. her girl-friend, who will accompany
her, will immediately head for the Haight-
Ashbury district "to see the real flower
people. ''

JOHNNY RIVERS

In a relaxed mood, Johnny sat in his
apartment talking free and easy. Many
questions were asked but we are going to
throw everything out and tell you his
innermost feelings.

First of all, John feels he wants to do
more with colleges to get his message
across. He feels that talking with the
young set at the colleges brings ideas and
feelings closer together. What are
Johnny's ideas? Telling the truth, being
free to discuss the problems concerning
us today. As one example he feels that
the people should stick by our present
government and back them on Viet Nam.
Another thing was brought out in a flash-
back story of two girls who came to visit
him to talk. The talk was interesting and
educational, he felt that the girls had
someone to talk to andexpress their feel-
ings, of course when the girls got home a
little late they were in trouble. This and
many other problems have been brought
to his attention.

Johnny thinks more magazines of this
sort should be out in all the cities for a
sounding board. Thank you John and keep
up the good work and stick to your ideas.

The King of pop soul

Copper with Wayne
WAYNE COCHRAN

Wayne Cochran and ten exhubrant musicians
rocked the Happy Medium to the delight of a
packed, hand-clapping crowd. One thing we
have to say "There is no one, but no one, who
works harder than Wayne". His personality
and vibrant soul sound keeps your attention
throughout his performance. While talking
backstage to Wayne, we asked him how he
could enjoy every performance as he does.
Wayne answered, "I enjoy life and people.
Years ago the doctors told me I had cancer
and that I wouldn't have long to live, so I quit
smoking and beat the cancer. Right now, I
believe I'm living on borrowed time, living
life over again." To say it mildly, Wayne IS
living life over and we couldn't be happier Commanding a C. C. Rider
that he is still around. We need more guys
like Wayne to bring delight to thousands of
people.

Greetings - all ye seekers of literary
epics! I'll be interviewing all the pop, op,
and the persons rarely known, but so vital
to the field, the people behind the pscene.
I'll be the guiding hand (blind leading the
blind) in this column - but I want it to be
yours.

The one and only, the great Mr. B -
Tony Bennett and WLS gave THE "Under-
ground Show" at the Empire Room. Many
of you were there and were awed, as I
was, at his mellow tones. An ultra-
groovy guy, Paul Galis, to whom we are
deeply indebted, arranged some of Tony's
precious time in our favor. Among the
many things that Tony was kind enough to
put down for PSYCHE PSCENE were "he
loves working with/for teens and young
adults because we're more optimistic"...
ta-da...chalk one up for our side. Of
course we could go on and on about the
show and Tony, but... with the flick of my
magic wand, I shall whisk you off (along
with the Blue Fairy and Peter Pan) to...

The Candyland of the Candymen (as in
Georgia Pines), Billy, Robert, Ox, Rod
and Rainy with their entire entourage
(kisses to Paul Galis, once more), the
back-up band for Roy Orbison has done
quite a job considering no special bag or
gimmicks - just great sound to please all.

When all GOOD kiddies are fast asleep,
yours truly, was eight miles high-groovin'
with Hugh Masekela at the "CLUB". His
golden jazz trumpet put the entire audience
under a spell. Johannesburg, South Africa
claims him - although Harry Belafonte
(as in fab) sponsored his career: as long
as Hugh is in the business, he'll have a
fan in me...

The Cheetah rang with H.P. Lovecraft's
unique talent - each individual grooved
into one on stage. Best wishes on their
trip to the Filmore in Frisco; first Chicago
group ever invited to entertain there -
luv to 'em.

Santa Claus is coming to town
I'll see if Ican get an interview

'Til then...Ibid you a fond "adieu"...
Ah don't know what ah do...butIcertainly
do hope ah do it before......

CARDINAL STRITCH HIGH SCHOOL

It was different! It was the ''Phenome-
nal" It happened at Cardinal Stritch High
School, 5831 West Strong, on Oct. 21st.
This dance was not like any other autumn
dance. The theme of the "Phenomena"
was love.

The decorations consisted of giant pic-
tures of Bill Cosby, Paul Newman, Dean
Martin and others hanging on the walls.
Flowers were everywhere! А huge daisy
hung from the ceiling. There was a large
poster of a daisy with the caption "flower
power" on one wall. On the wall behind
the group, there was another flower with
the caption "All you need is love."

The music was provided by the 'Symp-
toms of Sound." Their style and origi-
nality created the proper atmosphere for
the "Phenomena." They played songs by
the Buckinghams, the Doors, the Box
Tops, the Cryan Shames and others. The
"Symptoms of Sound" show promise in
becoming one of Chicago's leading groups.

The dance was sponsored by the Sodality

of Cardinal Stritch High School. The
officers, Joan Kwasny, Prefect, Kathy
Mobeck, Vice-Prefect, Gail Walaszek,

Corresponding Secretary, Bernadette
Mobeck, Recording Secretary and Janet
Joyce, Treasurer, workedtogether, under
the guidance of Sister M. Sharl, to make
the dance a success. The proceeds from
this dance will be used by Cardinal
Stritch's Sodality to give a Christmas
party for a group of underprivileged
children in the Chicago area.
